Tehran: Israel has launched another round of military strikes on western Iran, intensifying a series of cross-border offensives that have pushed the Middle East deeper into instability. In a statement released by the Israeli military, officials claimed responsibility for the latest wave of attacks, which reportedly targeted missile storage and launch facilities across the region.
According to the announcement, the strikes were conducted within the last hour and are part of what Israel described as ongoing operations aimed at dismantling Iran’s offensive capabilities. Specific details about the exact locations hit or the scale of the damage were not disclosed, and there was no immediate response from Iranian authorities following the announcement.
These attacks mark the second major Israeli operation on Iranian soil within days, following recent strikes on nuclear and military sites that resulted in the deaths of several senior IRGC commanders. Israel has justified its actions by citing preemptive defense against missile threats and Iranian coordination with groups launching attacks on Israeli territory, including Hezbollah and the Houthis.
The escalation comes amid growing fears of a broader regional conflict. Iran has already responded to previous Israeli attacks with a barrage of missiles and drones targeting Israeli cities. With both countries showing no signs of backing down, international observers warn that a full-scale war could erupt if diplomatic channels are not urgently revived.
The situation continues to unfold rapidly, with new developments expected as both sides brace for further retaliation. In the meantime, the absence of an official Iranian statement leaves the impact and future implications of this latest strike uncertain—though the message from Israel is clear: it is prepared to continue striking deep into enemy territory.
